The objective of the Air Traffic Control department is to prevent collisions, organize and expedite the flow of air traffic and provide information and other support to pilots, but at the same time to issue and enforce regulations related according to the San Andreas Aviation Code - including airspace restrictions, minimum altitudes and so on.
